I personally would like to have an iPad to use in the classroom that I work in, it would be nice for the kids to use as an education aide, as most come from families who do not have the kind of disposable income to own an iPad.

I would like to have an iPad 3 because I am a gadget person and love to have new electronic toys with which to play. Also, I believe that tablets are definitely the future of computing, and I think it is time to get on board with the future! Finally, I believe that Apple creates really high quality products, so I am moving more towards Apple for my personal computing needs.

why wouldn't I... the iPad 3 is gonna have retina display, siri, a slide out keyboard and coffee holder, expansion slot for additional memory and pop tart dispensor and tripple tapping the home button will shrink it to the size of a kindle for easy storage...

I would LOVE to have an iPad 2! I've been wanting and iPad since before the first one even came out. I was recently laid off and became an independant contractor. As contractor and a father, I work and play on my iPhone 4. I tried to get a cheap android device (Asus eee pad) at half the cost of an iPad to do my work documents, so I can stop doing spreadsheets on a 3.5" screen. It was awful. I sold it and went right back to my phone. Especially now that iCloud backups are an option. I'm too mobile for even a laptop, but an iPad would be perfect. Plus, I could put educational games for my child on it.
Dear Santa(Santa),
all I want for Christmas is my two priorities made easier, work and family. Thanks!

I would love to win this to be able to give my dad and my stepmom something to say thank you to them. Lots of holidays passed and I never really got them anything because I'm not working so I have no money. My stepmom especially she been raising me since I was young and if you know the situation that I was conceived in she should really hate me. Anyway like I said I just want to give them something if not both then my stepmom because she did a lot for me.

Why I want an iPad. Good question.
Never really have been a fan of tablets, but I'm hoping the iPad 3 will be the one to change my mind. After seeing the Tegra 3 in action, I'm hoping apple has an answer for that.

I would like an iPad 2 or 3 to give to my sister who just had retina surgery recently. She loves to read but cannot do it as much because it places too much strain on her eyes when reading physical books.

Are you kidding me?! I'd love a flippin iPad 3!!! With an HD Retina display and 1080p playback and Siri! (hopefully) This is the device my whole family would enjoy... Mom can use it to browse her cooking magazines, girlfriend can watch Netflix, my older son can read his Percy Jackson books, and youngest son can play cut the rope.
